I guess you have two options here: 1. (after satisfying all the other dependencies) run rpm -ihv --nodeps --noscripts yum*.rpm to avoid rpm complaining about missing deps, and not running post-install scripts. This should not affect basic yum functionality -- will work anyway. 2. Rebuild yum.rpm, removing those deps and removing chkconfig and service calls from postinstall scripts. _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
